What a great time we had at my friend's house on Sunday! I thought they just had innertubes, which would have been great by itself. But they have every thing imaginable to tow behind their boat - wake board, knee board, skis, tubes, I lost track, and Nicholas tried them all! Holly even gave each of the kids a turn at driving the boat - I have included a picture of Noah behind the wheel. It was a wonderful day! I made a couple of cakes and Tim made a fabulous dinner. Nicholas' prayer on the way home was full of gratefulness - love that! Yesterday, his actual birthday day, we gave the kids the day off from school - the kids know it just adds another day on to when they will finish school, but no one contested the idea (including Tim and me) when it was brought up. :-) So today we need to get cracking so I'd best be going! Here are the promised pictures:

Tim & Jodie
